Caitlin Sent on 07/17/2024“the BEST” Rev
Our ceremony was the highlight of our wedding for us 🪴 Family & friends loved our ceremony just as much. Rev Dave made the effort to get to know us & all of our guests could tell. We had several friends who assumed that he was a family member or personal friend! We received so many complements on the format of our ceremony & how lighthearted, yet personal he made the experience. The secret silly vows are such a perfect & unique addition. The unity plant was perfect for us.
Rev Dave’s preparation & reassurance were the perfect fit for my gregarious husband AND my shy self. He livens up any event, but balances this with understanding & support for those of us who are t.e.r.r.i.f.i.e.d. of standing in front of a crowd to divulge our innermost emotions.
Our wedding would not have been what it was without Rev Dave. He was always there to guide us & made our ceremony so perfectly “us”. We can not recommend him highly enough.
The Wedding Rev's reply:

Alyssa Sent on 04/19/2025A Rev You Can Trust
Our experience with Rev. Dave was honestly a hit from the beginning! His personality is magnetic and you can tell he puts love and intention into the wedding ceremonies that he is a part of. He has different content up his sleeve (you’ll see when you book with him) to truly give you an unforgettable ceremony. Our guests could NOT stop raving about him and all of our guests thought that we had YEARS of personal family connections with him, when in reality we only had a 3-4 planning sessions. One of our close family friends even told my dad that our ceremony was the best ceremony he had ever seen and his daughter just got married (sorry girl!).
All i can say is this: when you receive his pricing, DO NOT SKIMP. My (now) husband and i paid for this wedding ourselves, and i do admit that we went with the middle package because of our own hectic schedules and finances, but Rev Dave is WORTH IT ALL. You are (hopefully) only getting married one time, and one of THE best decisions you could make is hiring Rev. Dave! -

Sam Sent on 04/05/2025Excellent Marriage Prep
Dave was so helpful and professional and made the entire experience seamless. We enjoyed our sessions with him and he brought the right mix of lighthearted fun/humor and seriousness. He never indoctrinated and helped us to learn more about ourselves and hopefully set us on a good path for married life. -

Dave was amazing at his job. Our ceremony was BEAUTIFUL. Tons and tons of compliments from our family and friends to this day, saying they have never been to a wedding ceremony like ours. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and shared our love story. He was organized, efficient, funny and you can tell he truly is passionate about his job. We were so lucky and blessed to have him officiate our wedding and we would recommend him over and over again!The Wedding Rev's reply:

Tom Sent on 11/09/2024Rev dave is the best
Rev Dave is so personable and really works with you to make your day memorable. He takes the time to get to know you and his personality is the best! He's a very nice guy and really does make it uniquely about you and your significant other. Talking with our guests after our big day had us realize even more what a great impact he had on our day. A lot of them thought we had known Rev Dave for years! That's how good he is! We've already said we want him to do our vow renewals in the future! Cannot speak highly enough about him!The Wedding Rev's reply:
Tom & Erica, you two are so amazing! What a great time we had getting you two hitched! Your friends and families were so much fun! May you have many happy years together! -

Rev Dave was an awesome asset to our wedding! Between pre marital counseling, rehearsal dinners and our actual wedding, Rev Dave can control a crowd with ease. He’s super easy to get along with and is hilarious. I would recommend Rev Dave for your big day. He was awesome to have! Thanks again Rev Dave :)The Wedding Rev's reply:
Thanks Grant & Zaneta! I had such a great time with you two. It was a lot of fun getting you two hitched!! Keep those smiles a beaming! -
![Savannah]()
Savannah Sent on 10/21/2024Rev. Karen is truly the best!
My husband and I have the privilege of working with the lovely Rev. Karen! She is fun, so kind, detail oriented, understanding and accommodating. When we first began searching for an officiant we had no idea what to expect. However, the second we spoke to Rev. Karen we knew we were in good hands. I have to say that wedding planning can be quite stressful at times but she always made us feel at ease. Not only was her entire ceremony outline everything we could have wished for but her delivery was stunning. On the rehearsal and wedding day she brought this immense sense of peace to our day. We can’t thank her enough for how truly amazing she was! She made our day feel so magical! Rev. Karen, we wish you all the best of luck in all you do! -

Debra Sent on 09/28/2024Rev. Karen helped us create the perfect Ceremony
We are so glad we got the opportunity to have Rev. Karen officiate our wedding. She was easy to work with, patiently answered all of our pre-wedding day questions, and helped us craft a ceremony script that felt authentic to who we are as a couple. We had so many people compliment our ceremony afterwards! I would highly recommend Rev. Karen for any couple who is looking for an officiant that can help them create a unique and memorable ceremony. -

Savannah Sent on 09/24/2024Amazing officiant!
My new husband and I are so beyond happy we chose to go with Rev. Dave as our officiant at our wedding. He was amazing, super prepared, a great communicator, and everyone loved him. We loved how personal the ceremony was, he got the guests involved as well as my husband and I spoke more than just "I do". People came up after the ceremony saying they thought he knew us personally for years with how personal his story was! He was all around great and I would super highly recommend his officiant services!!! -

![Carolyn]()
Carolyn Sent on 09/16/2024Best Reverend EVER!
Reverend Dave was AMAZING! He was fun, engaging, and personable. He was super flexible and very detail oriented. We booked our wedding for Sept 2024 but a spur of the moment decision led us to do a small intimate ceremony with just our immediate family members i August of 2023. Rev Dave was very accommodating to do two ceremonies for us! All of our guests raved about him all night long after our wedding. Highly Highly recommend him!The Wedding Rev's reply:
Carolyn & Neal, it was so fun getting you married both times!! Keep on enjoying married life! Thanks for the awesome review! -
![Sayeh]()
Sayeh Sent on 09/01/2024Best officiant we could've asked for!
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Rev Dave. He is incredibly personable and friendly, and we hit it off with him from our very first Zoom meeting. We ultimately chose to work with him because we appreciated how much information he included on his website, including live videos of him officiating weddings (which we couldn't really find on any other officiant's website). We also loved having the opportunity to do marriage counseling sessions with him - he created a safe space for me and my husband to have open and honest conversations with each other, and we often spent extra time after those sessions discussing the topics we went over that day. And on wedding day, he did an amazing job personalizing the ceremony for us - from choosing a thoughtful reading, engaging our bridal parties and guests throughout the ceremony, and telling the story of how we met seamlessly. I would highly recommend Rev Dave for any type of ceremony you may have - he will make your wedding ceremony unforgettable!The Wedding Rev's reply:
Sayeh and Andrew, I always looked forward to hangout with you guys!! Your wedding was such a a blast!! Keep on doing marriage with all your enthusiasm ! -

Kelly Sent on 06/18/2024Fantastic Ceremony
We loved our ceremony with Reverend Dave! Leading up to the big day he really takes the time to get to know you as a couple. He is very organized and truly depicted our love story at our ceremony. He added so many unique touches that kept our guests engaged. We received so many compliments about our officiant after the ceremony! Many people shared with us that this was the most engaging and enjoyable ceremony that they have ever been to. Reverend Dave made our day so special!The Wedding Rev's reply:
Kelly & Nick, it was so fun getting you two hitched! Your families and friends were so wonderful to meet. You two are definitely a great match! May you have many happy years together! -

Jane Sent on 06/07/2024You won't be disappointed with Reverend Karen!
We used Reverand Karen for our wedding ceremony and could not have been happier with the outcome. Karen learned about us as a couple and made the ceremony personal and so special. She was flexible and listened to our preferences and made sure they were included. She engaged our guests and her calm presence put us all at ease. Thank you, Reverend Karen, you were a perfect addition to our special day. -

Kaelyn Sent on 05/29/2024We loved Dave, the wedding rev! We highly highly recommend him and are so happy we found him!
Dave was our officiant for our May 2024 wedding and we do not regret having him! From the first meeting with him, he was extremely friendly, organized and we could tell he had a passion for weddings and loved the job. Dave was on top of all the details, spent extra time with us during our final meeting to really nail down our love story and make the ceremony outline perfect. He got the final outline to us 2 weeks before the wedding so we had plenty of time to read it over and make adjustments as needed, but we didn’t need to make many adjustments since it was nearly perfect. He came to our rehearsal and immediately took charge, making the rehearsal run smoothly and everyone felt comfortable with their role after one run through. Our wedding ceremony was everything we wanted and we are so thankful for all the work Dave put it to making it that way! You will not regret hiring Dave to officiant your wedding. He truly is that good and insanely professional but also knows when to joke around and make light of situations. Thank you Dave!The Wedding Rev's reply:
Kaeli & Sam, I had such a blast with you two and your families! Thanks for the awesome review and all your kind words. Keep on keeping on!! You're my 400th review!!!! Woo hoo! Thanks! -

![Spenser]()
Spenser Sent on 05/22/2024A wonderful experience!
Working with Dave for our wedding ceremony was truly wonderful - we were both a bit nervous going into our initial discovery call site-unseen, but Dave quickly made us feel incredibly comfortable and left us with no doubt he would blow our ceremony out of the water - and that he did!
Dave did a great job providing us some simple tools to help design a script for our wedding ceremony. He really does a wonderful job intertwining a large variety of details into a beautiful script that really tugged at the heartstrings, while keeping it lighthearted and fun!
The script translated into a beautiful ceremony - We went for a more traditional-style series of vows and scripting, but hoped to keep it 'light', fun, and plenty of moments for some laughter and light-heartedness. Dave knocked our vision out of the park - the ceremony was filled with both laughter and tears of joy from both us and our families/friends - we received countless positive comments on how much our guests enjoyed Dave - book him! You wont regret it!The Wedding Rev's reply:
Britt & Spenser, it was so fun getting you two hitched!! Thanks for the awesome review! Keep on enjoying married life together! -
![Becky]()
Becky Sent on 05/06/2024Love was all around with the Wedding Rev!
We had such an amazing experience with Rev. Angle!!
From the start, it was very easy to work with him. We emailed him and we got a response quickly to set up what we’d like for our wedding.
I was initially worried that he wouldn’t come to the Rockford area but was glad to hear he comes this way!
Rev. Angle was so easy to talk to, I was ready to spill my life story to him. We definitely felt understood and heard about what we wanted for our ceremony.
We planned a very small wedding with only our immediate family present.
He made sure to include everyone and kept the energy up through the duration of the ceremony.
He knew which areas of our venue would be best for us. He worked wonderfully with the photographers to ensure they got what they needed.
We had something happen that altered the placement of our planned ceremony, Rev. Angle handled it professionally and we made adjustments as necessary and we are so grateful for him and his calm presence.
Rev. Angle said he’s done hundreds of weddings, and you can tell, in a good way! He made us feel so special and felt the love and enthusiasm through the whole event.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Hey Becky & Chris, thanks for such a beautiful review. It was great getting you two married and meeting your families. Have a wonderful life together! -

Dave Sent on 04/21/202410 Star review
Rev Dave was amazing. Inspirational. Funny And engaging. His ability to capture our love story and incorporate it into our wedding ceremony was such a joy. So many guests commented on how much they enjoyed him, some saying this was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended. His ability to work the room with over 100 guests added to the pleasure of the day.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Dave & Bev, it was so fun getting you two married!! And to see all the joy that your families and friends had for you was awesome! Thanks for the awesome review. See you at the next wedding!! -

![Megan]()
Megan Sent on 04/17/2024The Best to Work With!!
Reverend Dave was a pleasure to work with and far exceeded our expectations. We wanted a non-religious focused wedding ceremony while still remaining very traditional and formal, and he gave us that and more. The "marriage counseling" sessions before our wedding felt less like counseling and more like two-hour hangout sessions with a friend. He took the time to really get to know us along the way and create a special ceremony created just for us. While we were talking about the ceremony timeline, I tried to keep it formal and was turned off by the idea of jokes in his script, but when the time came for us to stand up in front of all of our loved ones... let me tell you, his jokes were perfect and just what we needed to take all the ceremony anxiety away. At the end of this experience, it truly felt like Reverend Dave was a family member.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Megan, you are such a sweetheart! Thank you for the awesome review. I had such a blast with you and Dylan everytime we met. You guys are the best! -

Dylan Sent on 04/17/2024Awesome Rev
My wife and I loved reverend Dave. As part of Dave performing your wedding ceremony 6+ hours are spent across multiple Zoom calls preparing. This includes lessons on love for yourself and future spouse, as well as sharing details for Reverend Dave to personalize your special day.
During the actual ceremony Dave can read the room extremely well and added some light hearted jokes to make the day even more special.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Dylan, I'm so glad that you and your guests enjoyed the ceremony so much! I know I had a blast getting you two hitched! Also, I'm glad you enjoyed our marriage prep sessions as well. You guys keep on enjoying married life! -

Matthew Sent on 12/08/2023Everything you want in an officiant
It's my pleasure to post this for the Wedding Rev. We went with what is his full service package which included pre marital counseling and reading materials. What we learned are things we still cite to each other to strengthen our wonderful journey. He is very thorough at the rehearsal, and the big payoff will be on your wedding day. Your guests will love him, you'll be very pleased with Rev Dave, The Wedding Rev.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Matt & Nicole, I'm so glad that you are still referring back to our premarital sessions. Thanks for this awesome review. I had a great time with you guys everytime we were together. Have many happy years. -

Patrick Sent on 12/05/2023The Perfect Officiant for our Wedding!
Rev Dave was the perfect officiant for our wedding!
When my fiancé and I started out the process of searching for an officiant most would ask us what we wanted. We had a few ideas but had no idea the first thing about structuring our wedding. When we first met Rev. Dave via zoom he laid out how the ceremony would go but was open to anything we would like. It was exactly what we were looking for.
Before the wedding, he took the time to meet again and learn every detail of our love story. For the rehearsal and before the wedding he made sure our wedding party would look their best for the photos.
And for the wedding he was amazing. He gave us a lovely ceremony while being sentimental and funny. I'd never heard so many laughs at a wedding but he also made sure to add the right amount of a religious component which was very important to us. The most important thing he did was get out of the way for our first kiss as a married couple to make sure the photo was perfect! His attention to detail cannot be matched for your big day when there are so many details to keep track of. I would recommend him to anyone and would give him 6 out of 5 stars if I could. HIRE HIM.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Patrick and Katie, what a great time we had getting you two married! Your guests really enjoyed hearing how you originally met. Thanks for your awesome review. Have many happy years together! -
